April Showers Brings Books!

17 years ago

I am just about finished with The Reading Group and am ultimately disappointed. The characters started out very interesting, and the discussions of the books were about as realistic as if she'd put a tape recorder in the middle of the room of a real discussion. But then it turns into a soap opera, with very obvious plot turns, and very little in the way of book discussions (in fact many of the books to be discussed were pushed aside to catch up on gossip). The more I read the book the less I liked it, and the less I liked the characters (except for the midwife who left the book early, I'd love to learn more about her). Its a page turner - I spent all weekend reading it and couldn't put it down, but now Im just slogging through the last pages because I want to know what happens to the train wreck.
